Since COVID I've seen more red light runners than the previous 20 years of driving. I wait long enough to check the oncoming traffic to see that they are slowing. I am not risking a tbone for 3 seconds.
Probably the only good reason not to get going right away. And honestly, if this was the case with everyone else, then I’d have no problems waiting a little longer, but so far my experience is that waiting is usually fruitless in these situations.
